Mask confusion reigns at shops around NYC on first day Hochul’s mandate lifted

R&I – TxPAT ***

The lifting of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s statewide mask mandate sparked confusion on Thursday — as some Big Apple shops still had signs in their windows citing the controversial order.

At a Starbucks in Midtown Manhattan, a barista said she “didn’t really know” about Hochul’s sudden about-face on face coverings, adding, “They keep changing it.”

But the manager said he planned to replace the store’s outdated sign with another saying that masks were instead recommended for customers.

“I’m going to print it out,” he said.
